## For a square contingency table @var{x} of data cross-classified on
## the row and column variables, McNemar's test can be used for testing
## the null hypothesis of symmetry of the classification probabilities.
##
## Under the null, @var{chisq} is approximately distributed as chisquare
## with @var{df} degrees of freedom.
##
## The p-value (1 minus the CDF of this distribution at @var{chisq}) is
## returned in @var{pval}.
##
## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed.
